By the virtue of loving someone, you incur a responsibility: to give them the best of yourself and summon forth the best within them. Make their becoming your concern. Strengthen them, and help them transcend what they are, for in their elevation, you too ...

i am capable of being a terrible person. but i am a good person. there’s this popular rhetoric that good people don’t know they are good, but they do because it’s a choice you have to make each and everyday, even on days when it’s hard. 🙏🏽

Duncan Trussell recorded this conversation with his mother while she was facing terminal cancer.
What you’re hearing isn’t scripted. It isn’t performed. It’s a son sitting with his dying mother trying to hold onto every word before the words run out.
And she, the one facing the end, is the one doing the comforting.
That is what makes these conversations so extraordinary. Not the wisdom itself, as profound as it is. But who it’s coming from. A woman who had every reason to be consumed by her own fear choosing instead to spend what little time remained helping her son understand how to live without her.
These recordings became the heart of The Midnight Gospel. And I always go back to watch it again.
They remain some of the most honest conversations about death, love and what it means to be human ever put on screen…

What a big, steaming pile of ultra-conservative, regressive, reductive, anti-intellectual, patronizing, homophobic, transphobic, religiously psychotic bullshit!
I encourage everyone to read this, to be aware of what we're up against.

Mind you, they were only wearing bras because they were told to cover up to welcome the Pope.
If they had really dressed traditionally, the Pope would have been greeted with completely bare breasts.
Christianity and Islam have deceived Africans so much about modest dressing.
